The first baseball card of any kind released by Cracker Jack. Instead of toy inside box, could mail in coupons to get a set of 16 advertising postcards (E147) , of which one was the Cracker Jack Bears playing baseball.
We’re a great success upon the field
And with effect the bat can wield
But playing ball grows rather slack
When we can eat ‘Cracker Jack”
